School me on the Paramilitary D2 Foliage Green

[Noah]

So it looks like I'm going to be picking up a Paramilitary 1 in CPM D2 and foliage green G10, untouched in the box. How many of these were made? Do they perform well? It'll be my first Paramilitary or Compression lock Spydie. :spyder:

[NoFair]

Not sure how many were made (probably 600-1200). I remember them being heavily discounted for a while.

Great knife, I was (and am) very happy with my CPM-D2 Military. I never have liked the PM as much as the Military so I didn't pick one up at the time. The one I tried had great fit and finish and was very smooth.

Can't speak for others, but my D2 Para is one of the smoothest opening Spydies I have. Not as smooth as the Sage 3, but VERY smooth.

^^ What Tdog said
Smooooth. And it takes a great edge. It's one of my favorite knives. There is just something special about it.

Might as well spend less on a normal Para and get the upgraded features and around the same performance steel wise. Or spend around the same getting a newer sprint run.

:edit: Oh, and stainlessness.

It is indeed a special knife, my favorite spyderco knife. Some knives have a distinct personality, this one certainly does. The color is unbeatable, and the original clip is so more distinguished than the ubiquitous hourglass panacea. Enjoy and post pics when u get em.

Heres a pic the first day she arrived

I love that canvas knapsack green.

Pretty much what he said, pitbull pretty if you get my meaning. Congrats you will keep this knife forever once you use it.

It was brand new, but selling for only $115 shipped. It's still available a far as I know! I ended up going with a normal PM2 from the same guy for a good price as well.
